Sorry about the rain and snow. Give it a week.
It's quite normal to have great March weather, then refreeze in April.

Hope I'm not usurping this thread, but it seemed better than starting a new one. What's the beta on camping in or near the City when all the camping reservations are full?

The orange is BLM land and is legal for camping. I think the standard spot is the patch of land south of Almo, past the turn for the CoR.

Thanks, Mike! Much appreciated!

Most people camp on BLM on smoky mountain. When you enter the park from the Almo side make your first left turn for Smoky Mountain campground. Instead of turning into the campground follow the paved road until it turns to dirt and then start heading up the rough dirt road. Four wheel drive is not necessary but having clearance helps. Camping is not recommended here during fire season because there is only one way in or out.

Great MAP!!! Any idea what the white (non-colored) areas are? I'm thinking they are private. Is that right?
